The Dallas Cowboys’ season may have ended in disastrous fashion, but star pass rusher Micah Parsons is about to have some fun during his offseason.
The NBA All-Star Game will take place this Sunday, and before that, the league will hold a celebrity All-Star Game.
Parsons will participate in that celebrity contest, and judging by a video of him preparing via Dov Kleiman on Twitter, he could end up playing very well.
While Parsons’ main sport has always been football, he was also a member of the varsity basketball team in high school.
At 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, he may be a little too heavy to play the guard position in the NBA while being too short to play forward, which may have been just one reason why he chose the gridiron over the hardwood.
In three seasons in the NFL, Parsons has quickly established himself as one of the league’s very best pass rushers, and he has helped the Cowboys win 12 regular-season games each year.
This year, he had 14.0 sacks, 33 quarterback hits, and 18 tackles for loss, and he was a prime candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
However, he lost the award to Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett.
Parsons is just 24, so he should have the opportunity to win at least one Defensive Player of the Year award and possibly at least one Super Bowl championship in the coming years.
However, his team’s defense looked very weak in its Wild Card playoff round loss to the Green Bay Packers, and Dallas therefore has a lot of work to do if they are to recapture their old glory.
